Abstract

A very hot topic in the city of Kamloops currently is the proposed Gasification plant proposal. I'm glad to see a strong public contingency concerned about the technology. Everyone will be affected from such a factory, be it positive or negative. The only way to make sure the city isn't a guinea pig, is to ask questions regarding the technology, health concerns and the environment.

I will be looking at the technology itself, trying to figure out if the plant will produce the amount of pollution it intends to. The main concern from the public comes from the air pollution, this will be my main concern. I will also look into water run-off. This aspect was not taken into consideration when the minestry approved the plant.

I intend to accomplish the research by looking at currently opperating facilities around the world and see what problems and solutions they have encountered from such a facility. I will also look at what they have done correct. Maybe there are no problems and the facilities are very favorable.

My conclusion will hopefully allow people to better understand the technology. I hope to find out wheather or not this technology is safe to locate within an urban environment.

  1. The abstract is a bit brief. I would like to see some examples, from the research that you have already done, of both the pros and cons of this proposed plant, as well as some projections regarding what recommendations you expect to make. This is no longer a plan. At this point it should be a summary of what you will research and what you expect to determine.
